Mercury

she’s as wispy as the breeze, yeah
and she lifts me like the leaves
as they’re falling from the trees
when you hold me underneath
like mercury
take my heart just like a thief
see the roses form a wreath
take your knife out from its sheath
like a gypsy
like mercury
holding you’s like holding mercury
baby won’t you please come and stay with me
holding you’s like holding mercury
baby won’t you please come and stay with me
in your castle in the sand
on your silver feet we’ll land
yeah, I have to sing it so loud
you’ve got your head stuck in the clouds
walk on your careful feet
baby and you warm me with your heat
and I fall for you completely
because you do it so discrete
like mercury
and with your silence you defeat me
then you take my hands and treat me
say I’m a book, baby can you read me
turn another page, then you free me
mercury
holding you’s like holding mercury
baby won’t you please come and stay with me
holding you’s like holding mercury
baby wont you please come and play with me
in your castle in the sand
on your silver feet we’ll land
babe I have to sing it so loud now
you’ve got your head stuck in the clouds
holding you’s like holding mercury
baby won’t you share your mystery
holding you’s like holding mercury
baby won’t you please come and stay with me x2
holding you
mercury
